I've been extremely disappointed that on the two occasions I've had need to contact support, no assistance was forthcoming.
Serialmailer app upgrade#
Lodging a support request apparently fell on deaf ears - but I was pleased that they nailed the bug in the first update.Īs with Mail Designer, it's taken a little time and several updates to get Pro working smoothly.ĭo I think it's worth the price I paid to upgrade from MD? I took the plunge anyway and upgraded for the responsive desktop and mobile formatting feature - and got deja vu, mainly in the form of bugs - including a pretty major formatting bug. When Pro was released I found it incredibly annoying that no upgrade pricing was offered for owners of Mail Designer.
Serialmailer app software#
A couple of years down the track, most of the anomalies were addressed and the software was working well for me. I bought Mail Designer when it was first released and though frustrating at first, stuck with it and worked around the bugs, limitations and quirks. Right now I'd rather use online tools like Campaign Monitor and edit the code in Dreamweaver for now. In the end this is the only html email app that I have found that is works at all, so if they improve the app I may go back to using it. I will say that customer service is excellent. Why would you want to use a html editor you ask? There are just some things that you have to do in an editor that this app will not do. This makes editing in an html editing app or even a text editor impossible. One of my biggest beefs is that it doesn’t use standard html formatting, in that when you use images in the app, the code renames it in to a very long sequence of numbers and letters rather than keeping the original name. This app needs to be more like InDesign or Quark in that it gives the users better control over aspects of the design. I just want to enter a number into a box and be done. Everything is click and drag and that, quite frankly, becomes a drag at some point. For a professional there are no precise controls.
Its not a *bad* app, just not very good yet. Unfortunately Mail Designer isn't quite up to the task yet.
Serialmailer app manual#
With the addition of a Quick Start Manual and some HTML Flyer templates, this could be a five star application.I left this review for the regular version of this app as well, they are essentially the same save for some templates of resources. MailShoot should be of interest to those who use iWeb and/or publish to MobileMe since the Apple server is not capable of running the necessary scripts but does have the advantage of one click publishing. Importing an existing database is quick and intuitive and the interface is easy to understand and use. If you have more than a couple of hundred subscribers, its very cost effective compared with using a marketing service. This feature alone more than justifies the extra cost over an app like SerialMailer. Up until now I've been coding my own forms, adapting a formmail.php and using SerialMailer to manage the databases and compose and send out the emails.Ĭreating a form with MailShoot only takes a few minutes and requires no knowledge of code or scripts.
MailShoot is a really good all-in-one solution for those who like to take control of their own website marketing and promotion campaigns.
